Default Tire size on 18x9.5 +35 dump on coils?

For those people that have coilovers with wide rims, or whoever can help me, I have a question for you guys. I'm planning to run coilovers, half inch tuck all around on 18x9.5 offset +35. I know some people had to dial in negative camber being so low. Would it be possible to keep the alignment in spec being that low ( half an inch tucking the tire) with rolled fenders, 215/35/18 tires? I don't want to f up my tires prematurely with negative camber. 215 on 9.5 would be some stretch...Anyone running that setup? Some people recommended 225s but I want to keep the alignment close to spec as much as possible. Will to 215/35/18 resolve the issue? Thanks in advance for all the help.

I don't see anything wrong with negative camber unless you're running mad amounts. Even if you wear out the inside out the tire, just flip them over and its like new again!

I don't think you'll have any problems having 0 camber and toe up front but the back might need some negative camber. Im running a 225/35 on a 10 inch rim +27 in the back and I have -3 ish or so degrees of camber. With a slightly skinnier rim and a little higher offset you can probably get away with 0 to -1ish camber in the back.

Yeah when you notice the inside your tires starting to go bald, just have them flipped (or switch your left and right tires if they're directional) and it'll be like new again since the outside doesn't even get touched.

Those r effin nice! Wide as fu**. Do u rub like a mother effer? And how do you drive in these streets in sd. especially Euclid. Good thing they fix plaza blvd exstension. What's your camber, how low and what coilovers? The stance and the rotas are tight by the way!

Haha thanks man. The rubbing isn't as bad as it use to be. It was bad when I had bigger tires in the back. I got more of a stretch in the back and it still rubs but not as bad anymore.
As far as driving in SD, I avoid some streets, or just drive very slowly =)
I'm on B&Gs I dont know how much drop. Maxed in the rear 1 ring take out. The front has another inch or so to go down.
0* camber in front
-3*ish in rear

Are you from Paradise Hills? Plaza blvd extention is near my house some what

Yeah I'm from ph. I gotta see your car in person. I haven't seen your car around for some reason. If I did I would for sure notice it. I was thinking about getting those rims in 9.5 but seems like everybody is getting them. Should I get 225/35 or 215/35 all around. I want to minimize the rubbing as much as possible.

Yeah I don't see very many modded tCs around PH... ever. Except for like 1 or 2 people that Im friends with.

A 215/35 sounds good to minimize rubbing. I'm not sure how much of a stretch that is or how it would look. Maybe even a 205/40? *shrug* Haha
